There are various reasons to do fireproofing of equipment and structures. Some of those are listed below:
It is believed that at around 1000°F (538°C), the structural steel loses roughly 50% of its design strength. So by using fireproofing the time to reach that temperature is prolonged. Just to note that a normal fire normally burns in the 1800°F to 2000°F range.
The design codes and standards do not provide any direct indication for the material to be used for fireproofing. The material provided by Fireproofing & Fire Protection Material Suppliers must be durable and corrosion-resistant. Based on construction practice, the following materials are used as fireproofing materials:
